Cllr. Alan Salter reports:

Following a successful redevelopment appeal to the Department for Environment at Bristol, for Westmead House, a full planning application has been lodged by Sainsbury`s for shopfront alterations to the ground floor which they propose leasing as a Sainsbury`s Local.  At a special Licensing Sub Committee hearing on 10th February, I raised residents` concerns regarding parking, licensing and delivery hours and anti-social behaviour. Sainsbury`s had originally  wanted a 24-hour licence for the sale of alcohol. This has been reduced to the hours of 7 a.m.-11 p.m., and the Committee reserves the right to review the situation, if there is a perceived increase in anti-social  behaviour in the surrounding area, or breaches of delivery times, restricted to the same hours. C.C.T.V. will monitor movements, and could be used as evidence to support any future restrictions. 

Westmead House is located between Cowper Avenue and Kingsley Avenue on Westmead Road, Poets’ Estate, Sutton.
